The ACE->OWL direction is integrated into the ACE parser which can be
used as a REST-webservice. E.g. to get the OWL RDF/XML of an ACE
sentence "John likes everybody who owns a car." just click on:

http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/cgi-bin/attempto/ape/apews.cgi?text=John+likes+everybody+who+owns+a+car.&solo=owlrdf

The webservice is documented here:

The ACE->OWL direction is documented here:

http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/attempto/documentation/writing_owl_in_ace.html

There are limitations, it's work in progress.

I'll create a Protege plugin (that integrates both directions)
once I've figured out how the Protege API works.
